Future Hope is a charitable organisation which provides opportunity through its homes, school, sports and medical programme for some of the most vulnerable children from the streets and slums of Kolkata, India. Every night children sleep alone on the streets and around the city’s main stations. Many are ill, most suffer serious forms of exploitation and all are vulnerable. Future Hope addresses the individual needs of destitute children and helps them to become independent, self-supporting members of society.

Investing in children is still a desperate need in India. Out of the 472 million children, 80 million are out of school, 97 million are anaemic and undernourished, 33 million are child labourers and 12 million marry before 18 years old. This is what makes our work so relevant.

We prioritise the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children irrespective of caste, creed race or gender and focus on transformative change by breaking the cycle of poverty.
